5/9 part of the population in a Town are males. If 30% of the males are married, the percentage of unmarried females in the total population is:

a)20% b)27 7/9 % c)40% d)70 %

Let the total population be 27 (9*3)

No. of males = 15No. of married males = 5So, No. of married females = 5. (Assuming none of the married men are polygamous or homosexual.. . I do not think the question can be solved without this assumption)

No. of unmarried females = 27 - 20 = 7

Percentage of unmarried females = 7/27 which is slightly higher than 25%.

So, answer should approximately B.

Not a very good question or answer choices..
